An Independence Day or A Repentance Day

What does an Independence Day Means to a Common Indian Man?

* Listening Patriotic(?) songs from loudspeakers, music channels?

* Eating Jalebies(?) which has become quite relevant sweet on independence day?

* Sending and receiving messages reading Happy Independence Day?

* Listening speeches of leaders, most of them are those who are proven unconcerned about the nation?

* Fixing a national flag on Bicycle, Bike or on the top of roof of their homes? Just doing so as others are also doing it?  

Several questions like this comes every year in mind on this Independence Day.

How can an Independence Day be worth celebrating where kids are compelled to satisfy their hunger by selling national flags?

Till the juvenility of the nation is not free from the hunger, health and illiteracy how can we celebrate an occasion like Independence Day?

The nation where the politicians are not able to distinguish the difference between Independence Day and Republic Day? What's the sense of celebrating Independence Day? See the picture below where it is clearly proven that how the value of Independence Day is being mocked by the politicians. It has became just a matter of business of their popularity only. Nothing else!!!

Is it not like mocking of Independence Day?

Where leaders do believe in creating delusion among innocent citizens by playing with misleading information and statements. Where even after 66 years issues like religion, cast and creed are kept alive and are used as a weapon to divide and rule. Where an army personnel is considered as an employee for being martyrs only. Where still a majority of citizens are compelled to live below poverty level. How can it be convincing for a celebration of Independence Day?

A nation so scared from the threats of terrorists that the national capital turns in to an army camp? Where the Prime Minister of the nation is forced to deliver his speech from a bulletproof cage. Where a poor citizen is asked to remove their cloths even in the name of security check. Does it deserves to claim even of being independent? Is it not a matter of shame???

Many more questions are there....

All remains unanswered.....

Year after year.....

An Independence Day or A Repentance Day???

Please correct me if I am wrong with my thoughts....
